Aram Kosakyan
Aram has been taking part in the lessons and hikes of the “4 Peaks children’s and youth mountain club” since 2020, when he was only 6 years old. As the Armenian saying goes, “beware of the quiet river.” He is very persistent and stands out for his willpower. At his age, he already holds the “Junior Mountaineer” badge (an ascent of the four peaks of Aragats with two overnight stays, including the true North Peak). He has been to the Bezengi high-mountain camp, walked on a glacier and done ice climbing. He has climbed seven summits in a single day and taken part in many winter ascents.
As of March 5, 2025, Aram is the most active member of the “4 Peaks children’s and youth mountain club” in his age group (and not only there), with 74 mountain ascents, 68 of them unique, and 60 hikes, 53 of them unique.
Let Aram’s example motivate you: trust children, don’t underestimate them, and don’t pass your fears on to them…
